Full Catastrophe Living - Jon Kabat
Stress may deplete our vitality, wreak havoc on our health, and even shorten our lives if we allow it. It makes us more prone to worry and despair, as well as disconnection and sickness. "Full Catastrophe Living", based on Jon Kabat-renowned Zinn's mindfulness-based stress reduction program, shows you how to use medically proven mind-body approaches derived from meditation and yoga to counteract stress, establish a greater balance of body and mind, and stimulate well-being and healing. You may learn to manage chronic pain, promote optimal healing, reduce anxiety and feelings of panic, and improve the overall quality of your life, relationships, and social networks by engaging in these mindfulness activities and integrating them into your life from moment to moment and day today. The second edition includes new research on the science of mindfulness, a revised Introduction, up-to-date data, and an extensive updated reading list.
"Full Catastrophe Living" is a book for everyone, young and old, well and sick, and everyone wanting to live a healthier and saner life in our fast-paced society.
